Ricardo Lebensohn, de Los Alamos National Laboratory, dará un seminario titulado «Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-Based Modelling of Microstructure/Property Relationships of Polycrystalline Materials». Tendrá lugar el 12 de mayo, a las 12:30, en la Seminar Room.

Resumen:  Crystal plasticity (CP) are well-established models, used, e.g., in scale-bridging applications to obtainmicrostructure-sensitive mechanical response of polycrystalline materials. These models require a properconsideration of the single crystal deformation mechanisms, a representative description of the microstructure, andan appropriate scheme to
